Sheriff Jeff Easter said the 33-year-old deputy was shot Monday night after a chase that ended near Potwin in Butler County. A man in the car also was shot and is in critical condition. A woman in the car was arrested.

Easter said the deputy tried to stop the car for traffic violations and it sped off, reaching 120 mph. Eventually, the deputy found the car abandoned and was shot as he searched for the suspects.

Several agencies responded to help with the search. A Kansas Highway Patrol trooper eventually shot the man and arrested the woman.

The two suspects, Jason Perez and Clara Crosser are both from Gardner.
